Chapter 69
Carl who had seen all sorts of people, was stunned by the man’s domineering aura.
“Look, Mr. Sherwood.” Someone walked up to him and handed him the phone. “This is a photo of Ms.
Fallon and Mr. Dominic.”
“That’s what you were talking about just now?”
“That’s right!”
Carl looked up at Flona.
riona remained calm and continued to wear an arrogant expression.
Carl smiled politely at first, but then his smile froze.
“Hey, Ms. Fallon, are you sure this is Mr. Dominic?”
Fiona was shocked and looked at him nervously.
“How… how could it not be?” She forced herself to calm down. After all, no one had ever seen the true
face of Dominic Campbell.
At least not at that small banquet.
“Oh, Mr. Dominic invited us to his banquet that day. Our whole family was invited to Central City,” Fiona
said casually. She spread out her hands to look at her freshly made crystal nails and squinted. at him.
“The banquet was so grand that almost all the top rich people from all over the world were there. It’s
really an eye opener!
“Were you there, Mr. Sherwood?”
Fiona snorted. Carl had quite a bit of influence in Cardiff, but he wasn’t that powerful either. He couldn’t
even compare to the Fallon family, so how could he have seen what the Campbell family
looked like?
As expected, Carl bowed and smiled awkwardly. “Ms. Fallon is right. I’m not talented, and I’ve never
seen Mr. Dominic in person.
“But…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe chuckled and went on, “I went to Central City many years ago, and the hotel I stayed in was the
Bright Brilliance Hotel, which belongs to the Campbell family. The person who took the photo with you
was the doorman who specially helped me register my room back then!”
Fiona stared blankly at him.
The smile on Carl’s face became more unfathomable.
The people around them were stunned as well, and all of them shot strange gazes at Fiona.
Fiona composed herself and argued, “What joke is Mr. Sherwood talking about? Many years ago? Heh,
do you still remember what a doorman who worked for you many years ago looked like? Mr. Sherwood,
don’t recognize the wrong person!”
As she spoke, she wanted to take back her phone, but Carl stopped her, looked at the photo carefully.
and smiled even more brightly.
“I can’t be wrong about the mole at the corner of his left eye. Ha, because of his good service attitude, I
gave him a lot of tips and praised him to his leader. Now he is already a lobby manager. In order to
thank me, he took the time to come to Cardiff the day before yesterday atul gave me a gift. I also did
my best as a host and took him around Cardiff for a few days.

“What a coincidence. I also have a picture of him!”
Carl took out his phone, and everyone gathered around him. The man in the two photos was exactly
the same!
All of a sudden, the scene became extremely awkward and ironic.
Fiona grabbed the phone with a pale face, gritted her teeth, and glared at the group of people
around her.
“Oh, Fiona,” someone chuckled, “have you been fooled?”
“Yeah, there are so many people like this on the Internet now. They rely on their handsome looks to
pretend to be rich and trick young girls!”
“No, I believe in his character, Carl explained with a smile. “Besides, Ms. Fallon is a daughter of a rich
and powerful family. How could she be so careless? There may be a misunderstanding!”
“You… Shut up!”
Fiona became angry from embarrassment, turned around, and ran out. However, she accidentally
twisted her ankle and grimaced in pain.
Jane stood next to her and looked at her coldly
She brought this upon herself.
Jane pursed her lips. She didn’t sympathize with Fiona, but her surname was also Fallon. In the eyes
of outsiders, she and Fiona were one.
How could it not be shameful to have such a family?
Before Fiona left, she glared fiercely at Jane and gnashed her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.
Carl smiled faintly and looked at the crowd. “It’s just a misunderstanding. Let’s continue!”
The banquet continued, but Jane was not in the mood to stay. Just as she was about to turn around.
she suddenly heard Carl calling out to her from behind.
“Ms. Jane, please wait.”
She could only turn around and say hello.
Carl noticed that she was still wearing the emerald green ring. His expression suddenly changed, and
then he looked at Dan, who was next to her. “Aren’t you going to introduce him?”
Jane had no choice but to pull Dan over and introduce him. “This is my husband, Dan. Hubby, this is
Mr. Carl Sherwood of the Illumination Group, whom I’ve mentioned to you.”
Carl stretched out his hand, but Dan took a step back calmly and only nodded slightly.
From the moment Carl appeared, Dan had sensed that there was something wrong with the man’s
expression. The man’s eyes seemed to be able to see through something. Dan put his hands behind.
his back and slowly clenched his fists. He became more vigilant.
Carl stopped his hand in mid-air. He did not expect Dan to refuse to shake hands with him. He laughed
dryly and immediately covered up the embarrassment by ruffling his hair.
“Hubby,” Jane chuckled, “Ava wanted to embarrass me last time, but it was all thanks to Mr. Sherwood.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe saw that the emerald ring in my hand was real, so he exaggerated it for me. That’s why Ava didn’t
succeed!”
“Don’t mention it.” Carl stole a glance at Dan as he smiled. “I’m a fan of jewelry appraisal. I’m not
exaggerating. Ms. Fallon, this thing is really good. It’s a rare treasure!

Chapter 6
“I heard from Ms. Fallon that this is a wedding ring, right?
“Oh, Mr. Murphy,” Carl looked at him meaningfully, “where did you my such a beautiful emerald ring?
I’ve been married to my wife for more than 10 years. I also want to give her one as a birthday gift!
Jane was about to blurt out “this is my husband’s family heirloom”, but at that moment, she keenly
noticed that Dan looked strange.
There was vigilance between his eyebrows, and there was a flash of deepness in his eyes, just like the
vigilance of a wild beast before it encountered danger.
As for Carl, there was something wrong with his,
gaze…
Jane paused and smiled. “I bought it with my husband.”
Dan was stunned for a moment. He did not expect her to react so quickly.
“Before we got married, my husband said that he wanted to give me a piece of jewelry, so we went
shopping in the streets and alleys. We visited all kinds of antique shops and jewelry shops, and finally
chose this one. The store is near Green Street. The owner is an old lady, and the things in the store are
quite historical.”
What Jane said was reasonable, as Green Street was a famous antique commercial street in Cardiff.
There was a mixture of gemine and fake itens, but there was no lack of people who had really bought
treasures from that area.
Carl narrowed his eyes, looking even raore confused.
Jane held Dan’s arms and smiled brightly. “Honey, it was right to go to Green Street at that time. Who
would’ve thought that we would really find such a treasure? Oh, we picked up a big bargain!”
